2 Corinthians 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 12:3

And I knew such a man
The same man, namely himself, is here designed, and the same rapture spoken of, and the condition he was in expressed in the same words: which repetition is made for the more strong affirmation of what he delivered, and to signify the marvellousness of this vision, and how surprising and unaccountable it was.

2 Corinthians 12:3 In-Context

1 Certainly it is not expedient for me to glory, but I will come to the visions and the revelations of the Lord.

2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell; God knows) was caught up to the third heaven.

3 And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell; God knows)

4 who was caught up into paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5 Of such a one I will glory, yet of myself I will not glory, except in my weaknesses.
